HistoryRSVP became a national program in 1969 following an amendment to the Older Americans Act. In 1973, it became part of the Domestive Volunteer Service Act and when former President Clinton formed the Corporation for National and Community Service in 1993, RSVP joined two other organization, Foster Grandparents and Senior Companions, to form Senior Corps.
